The point was more so that by speculating we are starting to spread mis-information and non factual data which is never a good thing. I think the guy is a piece of crap at this point. But that's besides the point. Inversely, if thats how you feel about my post, you could have just ignored it as well. But like me, you chose not to, and to voice your opinion as well.
I see nothing wrong with discussing the topic. It's very relevant to all of us. But speculation by its very definition as a transitive verb is not the same as discussion.
